Who are these people??

Some of you might know but a lot of you probably haven’t noticed that not all of the Højskole-students went home over Easter. Eleven of them stayed – all very sweet and interesting people – and even if they are not taking part in our seminar it would be great to have something to chat about with them if you ran into them at the meals or in the bar, don’t you think?

Here comes a short presentation of those we could get hold of before the blog-publishing-deadline.

Benedikte and Frida are two of the Greenlandish girls at the school. They are 21 and 27 and study Danish, English, keramics, sports (Frida) and math (Benedikte) here. Frida would love to travel to Australia one day and if you feel like looking at some very nice pictures, you should check out Benedikte’s website: www.123hjemmeside.dk/bintitta



Thaneel is a 43-year-old social worker from India. His subjects here are Danish, About Denmark and sports. He is very interested in human rights and in nature – and especially in the nature around here.




Yuliya (27) and Tanya (21) come from Ukraine. Both of them are here to learn Danish and about Denmark because they want to work here. Yuliya likes to go for really long walks in the forest, Tanya not so much…but she’s obsessed with cats!




Niels is South-African and he takes Danish, math and sports here. He likes to debate about islam and christianity and although he is only 17 he has been playing on South Africa’s national cricket team!



Mona, nutrition assistant, 20 years old: her subjects at the school are salsa, choir, boxing and preparing all this lækker food for us! Sometimes when she hears someone saying a word she starts all of a sudden to sind a song containing this word (try it!). And…surprise!…Mona is Danish.





Thomas (22) is half Swiss, half Danish and apart from Danish and About Denmark he takes sports and yoga. When we asked him to tell us an interesting fact about him, he said he usually showers naked. And he doesn’t lock his door at night (but he wouldn’t tell us his room-number).
